The charter voted into the custody of
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-11-22

The Monmouth Gazette is authority for
the statement that it is probable that the
Santa Fe north branch to Rock Island
that will leave the main line south of
Monmouth and pass through that city to-
ward Rock Island will be built in 'SS. A
contractor stated. it Is reported on good
authority, that he had taken the contract
for grading several miles of the bed at
this end of the line and that the work
would be begun next spring in all proba-
biIity 1t may be that the following
from the Galesburg Register has a bear
ing on the same matter:
In conversation Thursday evening Con-
tractor Macarthur remarked to the reports
er that he could not answer the question
directly as to whether the Santa Fe COM
pany had any tracks to build from this
city to other points. He stated, however
the railroad officials had conferred with
him about several important projects moi
far from this city, and that they had
talked these things over together. The
pushing of these enterprises will be de
ferred until next year. Mr. Macarthur
would not state what these projects of sc
much interest to this place are, but it il
worth while to know that there is some
thing in the air, and as he is large con
tractor it is evidently a job of some mag
| nitude.

Talking Combinations.

The recent visit of Mr.. Clark, the rep
resentative of the eastern capitalists who
came with Dr. Raub several weeks ago.
the Davenport Democrat Gazette says, may
eventually result in an important combi-
nation that will be of great value to the
interests of the city. He came to consult
with Mr.. Williams as to the possibility OF
combining with him that the D., l. q
d. may be made one of the western feed
ers of the projected through eastern road
in which the capitalists whom Mr.. Clark
represents are interested. The new bridge
would also be an important factor in this
scheme and negotiations are not yet
closed looking toward the building of
the bridge for the use of the road which
Mr.. Clark is looking out for. Mr.. Will
liams was too busy in securing his right
of way during the week to make any def
Unite proposition to Mr.. Clark ,bnt meet
ing was arranged to take place IN Chicago
this week, when some new phases of
future railroad development for this com
munity may appear.
In this connection it may be well to
state that there is strong probability
that the D. |. & ID. project and the
Judge Williams project may be combined
under the name of the Davenport, Iowa
& Dakota road, and that the part of the
Judge Williams road already constructed
and the right of way obtained become
the property of the joint corporation.
This will give more positive assurance OF
the building of system that cannot bu,
be of immense value to the jobbing inter.
ests of the city, tapping as it will vast
territory that is now tributary to Other
| cities and which will be more directly ant
closely connected with Davenport thar
any other city by the construction of thu
new line.
